If you are interested in a reasonably well written set of 3 short scripts to help you through the installation of Gentoo 2005.1, visit the site:
I would be interested in any errors that anyone may find.

nor for many installs have I ever had to mount -t reiserfs. Its picked up when the mount process is done.
not to detract from the effort, you might also want to point them to the official graphical installer, assuming that most people use x86.
It's found here
edit: note: I only took a cursory look at the scripts

the official graphical installer. Is it any good? How did the install (with it) go for you? Any hints? | | | Senior Member with 1,246 posts. | | Join Date: Sep 2003 Experience: Linux~su | | basically grab the iso, boot up, on the desktop should be the gtk installer program. Just follow along after that. I've not used it, but from what I've heard for x86 its great. I'm just waiting for the ability to write custom scripts for it so you can start it walk away for 8hours to 3weeks and have a system good to go.

It appears to be vaporware. | | | Senior Member with 1,246 posts. | | Join Date: Sep 2003 Experience: Linux~su | | very first link on google takes you to: this documentation page which will in turn tell you that under the experimental area on the mirrors such as http://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/e...86/livecd/x86/ you'll find the iso for the installer version with full gui interface.
considering i've actually played with it(not installed because its for x86 only right now ), I know its far from vaporware.

| | | Account Disabled with 30 posts. | | | | Thanks a lot. I had seen this but did not recognize it as such.
I guess the livecd-x86-2005.1.iso CD is it -- what are the clues that this was the CD with the gui install?
I was looking for a separate program. | | | Account Disabled with 30 posts. | | | | tsunam -- RR4 Linux (formerly Gentoo RR4) also has a graphical installer.
I have not tried it though.

#12 | I finally got around to downloading and installing it.
It is very hard to install as it refuses to choose the correct X-server. | | | Account Disabled with 30 posts. | | |

#15 | Tsunam -- Have you tried Captive. I have put up a HOWTO: Writing to your Windows 2000/XP (formatted with NTFS) from Linux at http://linux.coconia.net/
Reiser4 is good? I have found Reiser3 to be everything I want in a filesystem. I have yet to try the new Reiser. |  THIS THREAD HAS EXPIRED.
